qmail-src DNS

2001-12-05 Thread Tom Allison
When I compiled my DNS - it ran an error that the DNS wasn't properly 
configured (it wasn't) and so I couldn't complete the configuration of 
some file called 'me'

How do I do that now?  (DNS is fixed)

put in ../qmail/control/me your FQDN of the mail server.
that is for qmail to avoid mail loops to itself, and other stuff (qmail will 
not start if the file is empty or it doesn't exist, and can work with just 
one control file: me)
man qmail-control

cheers, dragos

that worked easy enough.
Now I have to figure out why I'm getting errors of 'sorry no mailbox by 
that name here'.  I did maildirmake...

More coffee, more time, more RTM.

have you done it as the user in question, or as a root? (just to be sure, 
many times I did it as root, and qmail couldn't write to it)

good luck

Root of course!

I got that to work.  But I'm slowing slogging my way through the bad log 
entries and the RTM's.  Progress, but not perfection?
